Girardi interviews for job

[jacey]

Word is that Girardi interviewed quite well and alot of the questions or conerns Hendry had, were answered to his satisfaction. My guess is Joe will be offered the job sometime next week unless Bochy is interested. If we can land Bochy with no compensation going back to SD, I'd be OK with that. Under no circumstances should a player go to SD so we can get Bochy-I'd just as soon have Girardi

I disagree. I'd be happy to send them Izturis for Bochy. :D

Jason Stark said this morning on Mike & Mike that the Girardi interview went very well and "allayed any fears" the Cubs had about the Florida situation.

 

However, he also said that the Cubs are very intrigued with Piniella, and that it's his job of choice. I think it's still Piniella in the lead.

Seriously? Wow, I'm totally misreading the situation then. I had Piniella/Cubs pegged as a total mismatch of personalities---something that would never happen.

 

I also didn't figure Piniella would be terribly interested since the Cubs were one of the worst teams in baseball this year.

 

I've always thought this was Girardi's job as long as he explained the Florida situation in a way that made sense. The Cubs have had a pretty good experience with Joe over the years. He's obviously got good managerial skills as evidenced by taking the Marlins to a nearly .500 record with basically no players outside of DTrain.

The paper this morning said that Piniella didn't get the grand tour that Girardi did. For what it's worth.

Yeah, that Cabrera guy is a hack.

My fingers are crossed that it's worth something.

At this point, I'm starting not to care who the new manager is, as long as he's offered no more than a 2 year contract, MAYBE with a mutual option for a 3rd.

Not to poke a hole in anyone's balloon, but Piniella may not have received the grand tour because he didn't have the time because of his broadcasting schedule.

 

Girardi's unemployed and is friends with a great many people in the Cubs organization. He may have just been making his rounds with time on his hands.
